KTec Champ HP3

Pros: Extremely powerful, fast, works well, relatively small, just incredible!

Cons: Expensive, but WELL WORTH IT! (Like always, you get what you pay for!)

The Bottom Line: This blender is a rock-solid investment, and it will quickly become your new best friend in the kitchen!

Review: This incredible blender is the perfect addition to any kitchen. Over the past several years, significant improvements have been made to it, such as a new non-leaking lid, and more flexible programming of the touchpad control buttons.

I've had...

Pros: Works quickly through most anything you put in it, timers, control panel

Cons: You have to learn its limits

The Bottom Line: If you want a high performance blender, this is for you

Review: I was considering buying a new Vita-mix since I had an older model. However, the day I was looking ...

Pros: Amazing power, fits under the counter, flush/clean design.

Cons: Expensive but doesn't look it; electronic controls take getting used to.

The Bottom Line: The HP3 gives you more $$$ in performance for less money than the Vita-mix. Thus, I have to recommend the HP3 - it's the best!

Review: I saw the Vita-Mix demonstration at a local Costco and purchased it. I saw the HP3 demonstration at a Home and Garden Expo and realized I bought the wrong machine at Costco. SIZE MATTERS - The first thing that hit me in the demonstration was the ...

Pros: Electronic button pad easy to wipe down extremely powerful

Cons: I have not found anything I don't like about this machine.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this product because it is easy to use, functions beautifully and was well forth the cost.

Review: This is one awesome blender. You really can't call it a blender. I studied the reviews and considered really only two, the Vitamix and this one. The K-Tec Champ HP3 I bought was $325 and came with one blender jar. It can be used for wet or dry foods. ...

Pros: Large jar, power, ease of use, easy clean-up, health info in cookbook.

Cons: Lid is disappointing

The Bottom Line: Yes, I recommend. Power, performance, ease of use, 8 year guarantee, price.

Review: Since I used epinions a lot in my research before I got my Champ, I feel it is only right I give a review to let others know what I now know. I started with the Vitamix. A demo got me really interested. But I saw an add for the Incredible Chopper. It ...

Pros: Extremely powerful, easily crushes ice, makes excellent smoothies, easy to use, fits under cupboards, programmable

Cons: The vortex sometimes forces ingredients to be suspended above spinning blades. No plunger included.

The Bottom Line: I am a smoothie fanatic and have burned out several non- commercial strength blenders. The K-TEC devours ice with ease. I have definitely gotten my moneys worth.

Review: I have used my blender once or twice a day for the past 2 1/2 years. The blender is capable of making frozen smoothies with an excellent, smooth texture. When making EXTREMELY thick frozen smoothies the blender does have a tendency to spin so fast that...

Pros: Powerful! Easy to Use Easy to Clean

Cons: None I can think of.

The Bottom Line: A fabulous kitchen appliance that is a joy to own.

Review: After burning through an average of one blender per year, and spending more and more for a blender each time, (the last one I purchased was a Cuisinart for $150.00) I finally decided to bite the bullet and invest in a REAL blender. The only question: ...

Pros: controls, warranty

Cons: doesn't fit under cabinets

The Bottom Line: The VitaMix is easy to use, durable and trouble free

Review: I researched both machines extensively and waited a few days because there were pro's and cons's to both and I wanted to have the clarity that comes from cool-headed judgment - and bought the Vita Mix 5000. The pro's for the K-Tec unit were more power ...

Pros: Greatest power at this price range and 8 year warranty.

Cons: None that I have found yet... I will update this review if I find one.

The Bottom Line: Don't hesitate to purchase this beauty. Better than Vita-Mix, according to my research (extra 1 horse power).

Review: You can price shop/match for this blender at various sites and get it down to around $320 -- I have had mine for a week now and I must say I am very, very impressed. This is not just a blender -- It is a food processor. I just put a couple cups of ...

Pros: Works great, Would buy again!

Cons: The Jar bearing go out too easy

Review: I have had my k-tec blender for over 3 years. I can't say I haven't had any problems. But the customer service I have received when I had to send it in was great! I have to say I love it! It has been a very good machine. I use it ALL the time. I ...
